Logan Paul spoke with Justin Barrasso for Sports Illustrated for a new interview where he discussed a wide range of topics.
Logan Paul will fight Dillon Danis at The Prime Card on October 14. Here are the highlights:
Fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr:
“In a weird way, the Floyd fight proved to me who I thought I was. The biggest thing that surviving and thriving against Floyd Mayweather did for me was boost my confidence in a way that was so unfamiliar to me at the time. Think about it. People kind of knew me, but then I went toe-to-toe with the greatest boxer alive. So people had to respect that. Ever since then, so many doors have opened. Prime started. I got invited to join the WWE. The confidence that fight gave me made me turn into the man I always thought I would be,” Paul said.
Success in WWE and boxing:
“It’s a combination of self-belief with a little bit of delusion. At first, I thought I was crazy. Eventually, that belief, it’s become reality, and I believe it–fully. That was the only way it could come true. With WWE and boxing, and really everything I’m doing, I’m very fortunate to have found something I like and that I’m good at. I’m only warming up,” Paul said.
